"That Shadow Has Legs Little Spider" *re

I'd be very interested to hear people's opinions on this one. Uses a few techniques and styles rather ner to me and I want to know whether the sentiment is conveyed successfully. Not that everything should be clear of course, just that some sense is made. “That shadow has legs little spider; they’re longer and stronger and quicker than yours. Stay with me (I know you see him) here in the sun – forget whatever feud you have with twilight’s pet pest.” Grasses grown far too long nodded as chubby fingers led a bleary gaze through mazes of chapel masonry and found a hungry nest. Grey school shorts and pimpled thighs observed (strained expressions) a dinner guest. A thumb picked a nose to feed a loosely glistening mumble “Dear God, please keep me far from the webs that snare meticulous instinct and fling such a perfect working specimen eagerly on to nothing.”
